Nature Study: 5 Reasons Birds Don't Visit Your Birdhouse

You hear their melodious songs filtering in from outside and see them flittering around the ground outside and you think...

If only you had a birdhouse so the birds would would flock there and stay a while for you to bird watch...

...but what happens if you go through all that effort to build or buy a birdhouse and...they...do...not...come? 

There are several reasons why birds may not be visiting your birdhouse but below you will learn 5 main reasons!

Read on to find out the 5 possible reasons...


1. Location: The location of the birdhouse is crucial. If it is placed in a location that is not easily visible or accessible to birds, they may not find it. Make sure the birdhouse is located in an open space with a clear view of the surrounding area.


2. Competition: If there are other birdhouses or natural nesting sites nearby, birds may not choose your birdhouse. You can increase the chances of birds choosing your birdhouse by providing a variety of nesting options in different locations.


3. Predators: Birds may avoid your birdhouse if there are predators nearby. Make sure to keep the area around the birdhouse clear of potential predators such as cats or raccoons.


4. Season: Birds may not be nesting in the area during the time of year you put up the birdhouse. Research the nesting habits of the birds in your area and make sure to put up the birdhouse before nesting season.


5. Type of birdhouse: Different bird species have different requirements for their nesting sites. Make sure the birdhouse you have is suitable for the species of bird you want to attract.
